How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are titanium or ceramic posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the bone integrates with the implant (a process called osseointegration), creating a strong foundation for the restoration.
The dental implant process includes:
- Initial Consultation: We assess bone health, scan your jaw, and create a treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: A biocompatible post is placed into the bone.
- Healing Period: Osseointegration occurs over 3–6 months.
- Abutment & Crown Placement: A custom cosmetic crown is placed on top for a natural look and function.
In cases where bone loss is present, bone grafting or regenerative medicine may be used to prepare the site.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing implants offers several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:
- Restores full chewing function
- Prevents bone loss in the jaw
- Preserves facial structure
- Doesn’t impact adjacent teeth like bridges
- Permanent and durable with proper care
- Improves speech and self-confidence
For those interested in alternatives, dental bridges or partial dentures may also be discussed during your consultation.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are ideal for patients who:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Possess healthy gums and adequate jawbone
- Don’t smoke or are willing to quit during healing
- Are looking for a permanent solution instead of removable appliances
Our team offers full evaluations and uses digital x-rays and regenerative protocols to help more patients become eligible for implant therapy.
